Movie #1,028 • TRUE RANDOM, VOL. XLVIII

Well, this is the first TRUE RANDOM selection here at the new blog. Every other Monday, I use this semi-sketchy website and I tweak to the settings to select a truly random movie and if I can track it down, I must watch it! (no cheating!!)

This is regarded as one of the 'imitators' that populated movie theaters in the years following Raiders of the Lost Ark. It's been awhile since I've seen Raiders so I guess this is an imitation? It's based on a book that predates it so who knows. (And who bloody cares!)

Anyway, Tom Selleck straight-up brutally b*tch-slaps the leading lady he ends up with at one point...

There are a couple fun action set-pieces and old timey fighter plane sequences...

Forgettable flick but definitely not atrocious. Feels like a Sunday afternoon movie of the week I would see bits of as a kid.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️¼

Destiel Chronicles

Vol. LXVIII

It was a love story from the very beginning.

The Complex Destiel Mirrors from Bloodlines

9x20

Hello my friends! Here I am with another meta from this series, this time I will focus in Dabb's episode Bloodlines, who attempted to be a failed spin-off but ended up like just another episode from Supernatural, in which I recognized a complexity of mirrors and switching mirrors, as I called it.

I hope you enjoy the following meta, I had a lot of fun discovering each mirror and dialogue.

Ennis was the switching mirror of Sam and Dean

If you recall this character, was the one who at the beginning of the episode lost her girlfriend, killed by a monster.

He was about to get married with her, so it recalls me to Sam Winchester and Jesse.

Invaded by a strong revenge desire, Ennis had his first encounter with the Winchesters, and Sam had this exchange of words with him...

ENNIS [has apparently told most of the story]

And when I got to her... She...She --

SAM: There is nothing you could've done.

ENNIS: That supposed to make me feel better? Look, this thing wasn't human. So what are you gonna do about it?

This was so meaningful, because is Sam who's saying this words as if it was a contention and a hand on his own shoulder, for what just happened with this girl, dragging him back to the remembrance of Jesse.

It was certainty like talking with himself, and he will do it again in one more scene.

But before that, look at this...

[ENNIS enters a run down house, looks in closet, opens a trunk labeled N. ROSS. There is a photo of his dad in cop dress uniform inside. along with revolver and, hidden in box, silver bullets with something carved in them.]

Ennis was son of a Righteous Man, guided but his own disgrace, the boy will follow his father's steps. He will become his father. Just like Sam, he reacted very similar to him when Jesse died.

And now... The second scene in which I pointed Sam will talk with himself again...

ENNIS: Or what? Huh? You gonna hurt me? Kill the girl I love? Ruin my damn life?! Yeah, you're too late.

SAM: Ennis, listen. I get it. Believe me, I've been there. But what we do? It's messed up. So do yourself a favor and stay out. You can get hurt, too.

Sam wants a better life for this young kid, he knows hunting has not return.

Okay, now that we talked about Ennis like a Sam mirror, let's see when he switches to Dean mirror...

SAM: Wait, so this girl, she a shifter, too?

DAVID: Werewolf.

DEAN and ENNIS, together: Awesome. Awesome.

Dean is celebrating a couple of two different species, like shapeshifters and werewolves, or angels and humans *winks at the audience*.

Here, is so blatant. Ennis is now Dean, and why? As a tool for the narrative because they need them fighting like an old married couple with David (Cas mirror). Two characters that started as enemies, will end by working together.

Even Dean said this quote here...

ENNIS: No! Oh, hell no! Dude, he's a freakin' transformer.

DEAN: And sometimes you got to work with the bad guys to get to the worse guys.

(like him with Crowley, to get Abaddon or Cain killed)

DAVID: Dude, I'm right here.

DEAN: Yeah, I see you.

This bickery, in which Dean is involved, is developed to show us just that, mocking and bickery. Because is mostly Destiel Dynamics when they're mad at each other, or how they were at the beginning. And then, to make it more suggestive, Dean ends with this scene...

DAVID: I lost someone, too, okay?! But I'm trying here.

ENNIS: I'm sorry about your brother. He spoke about you at the end. He said, "David, I'm sorry. I didn't have a choice."

DEAN: All right, you guys can kiss and make up later. We got work to do. Come on.

That's the strawberry over the cake my friends... Yes... Two different species with some tension? Cas and Dean mirrors? And Dean asking him to kiss??? That's what we had been asking since Cas entered to that barn!

David, Castiel mirror and angels representations

David's house was representing Castiel and Heaven. His sister was the whole angels and heaven at once. She was mirroring duty, obedience to his father lines.

She was scolding David for being weak and for not taking responsibility as leader of the family.

But also she was talking about this...

DAVID: I'm not saying don't fight. I'm saying be smart. Find out what happened. And if Julian did this --

MARGO: Yeah, you'll what? David, come on. You don't want this. You ran away to be a human. You always had a soft spot for 'em. Look, you're out. Stay out.

David is a blatant Castiel mirror for his love for humanity and his love for Violet, another different species.

At the end of the episode he will come back to his family as a leader...

Margo, his sister again representing the Garrison as a foreshadow of Cas in the following episodes in which he will take risponsability of the angel to avoid a war.

Violet and Julian, two sides of Dean Winchester

It caught my attention that Julian, the head of the werewolves, was dressed just like Demon!Dean and it was like listening Toxic!Dean talking.

Then I saw Violet, and she was sweet and innocent and she believed in love. So I had this idea in my head, both of them were two different sides of the same coin: Dean Winchester.

We even had this scene:

VIOLET: Wait, Julian, stop --

JULIAN [handling her roughly] What do you think you're doing?! You're the bitch in this pack, princess. Your job is to be pretty and silent. So war, no war -- you don't get a vote.

In which toxic!Dean yells at Healing!Dean making him to shut up. Toxic Masculinity my friends...

And switching mirror again:

The classic Destiel mirror with the whole lines of the script from episode 6x20 was this scene...

(Gif credit @hefellfordean 👇)

Is a classic, blatant Destiel mirror that recalls us the first Destiel break up in s6. But hey... Wasn't David Cas and Violet Dean? Yes. But they switched. Just like this scene...

DAVID: Don't hurt her!

IRV: Why?! Hmm?! 'Cause she's your girlfriend? Hmm? Yeah, I heard you talking. Real sweet. Hell, it was almost human. Almost.

[IRV cuts DAVID with claw while VIOLET transforms into her wolf.]

First here... David is still Cas, and this reminded me to the torture he suffered in 9x09, but also it looks like the future torture he will suffer in 11x01, always Angels reproving his relationship with humans, but mostly, his feelings for Dean Winchester like something unholy.

Aaaand he switches to Dean now...

IRV: Here's the thing -- you can look human and act human... But deep down? You're just a monster.

This is talking about Dean, the monster, the Demon in which he will become. So is a foreshadow for that, and is too, how Dean feels inside of him.

To Conclude:

Episode 9x20 was constructed as a complex reflection of Dean, Sam and Cas.

Dabb swims through Sam's traumatic past, their daddy issues, and the forbidden romantic relationship between Cas and Dean.

He plays too with quotes and situations that reminds us to the first Destiel break up and the foreshadow of Demon!Dean.

I hope you like this, see you in the next Chronicles.

5 Reasons why most Chinese parents prefer sons over daughters.

Among countries like Egypt, South-Sudan, Sudan, India and Papua New Guinea, China has an extremely abnormal sex ratio, favoring males. This has some remarkable consequences for Chinese society.

The reasons for parents preferring boys as children are:

-          Kinship system. The family name is passed on from father to son, and because of the previous one-child-policy in China, it was very important to have a son to continue the family line

-          Ancestor worship. Chinese people believe in the afterlife. To ensure a good afterlife for the whole family, the son must perform certain rituals. Without a son to complete these rituals, the whole family will be cursed.

-          Status. People look down on families without sons, they even scorn girls. For example, grandparents don’t want to be seen with their granddaughter, only because of the fact of her being a girl.

-          Physical labor. Boys are stronger and therefore more useful for a family to help with physical labor. The general idea is that girls are only useful for helping with the household.

-          Dowries. It is financially more advantageous to have a son, because the family will not be obliged to pay a dowry when their son gets married.

Due to the one-child-policy in China, their gender preference leads to the abandonment of girls and a privileged treatment for boys in terms of food and healthcare. It also leads to a disproportional distribution between boys and girls. This means millions of men are destined to be single. Therefore, parents are often set responsible for finding a good partner for their son, by, for example, organizing ‘partner-expos’ with parents having a booth with pictures and information about their child.

These phenomena are unthinkable for us and therefore interesting to me as a student in gender and diversity. The one-child-policy and the gender preference has an influence on every layer of the Chinese society.

Destiel Chronicles

Vol. LXVIII

It was a love story from the very beginning.

I Want You Back (Part I)

(11x15/11x16a)

Hello my friends! How are you? I decided to divide this topic into two parts and taking the first half of episode 16.

Thanks to my dear editor @destielle for take her time and betaed this mess! 😘💕

Here I will talk about how Dean's priorities change from the moment he discovers Cas is possessed by Lucifer.

Something like… 'Amara who?'

Let's check it out…

He wants so be saved

The first scene in the bunker in episode 15x15 shows us Dean trying to force the idea about Cas wanting to be saved to be true, just like the way when he came back from Purgatory without the angel and lied to himself to the point he altered his memories about what really happened.

Sam can sense his brother's feelings and concerns… pay attention to this dialogue…

Sam: Uh... don’t you think our plates are a little full? I mean it’s bad out there, Dean.

Dean: Yeah, Sam. You think I don’t know that? We’ve done nothing but mainline lore for a week, okay? We’ve got jack on another hand of God and Amara, and we’ve got even less jack on how to save Cas.

Sam: If he wants to be saved.

Dean: He does... even if he doesn’t know it yet.

Sam: Dean...

Dean: I’m burnt, man. Okay? And I need... WE need to get out of here. Let’s go stretch our legs.

Sam looks wearily at Dean.

Sam knows Castiel decided to do this because he wanted to be useful to the fight. Again, Sam and Cas share the same train of thought, opting for war decisions. It’s easy for Sam to understand Cas. But for Dean, the one in love with the angel, it’s really hard to believe. He can't wrap his head around the possibility of Cas saying yes to Lucifer on purpose or that he doesn’t want to be saved. He can't and he doesn't want to believe it. And the guilt inside of him because he didn't see these events coming is playing an important role in his despair. All he wants is his angel back...

Gunnar: Castiel mirror

They were set blatantly: Dean and his crush on Gunnar and Sam and his crush on Rio.

Playing with these two parallels at the same time in the same episode, we, as the audience searching for subtext, can see and talk about Bi!Dean easily.

Gif credit @roseredfingers

That's why we have Gunnar winking at Dean and Rio seductively greeting Sam when they came out from the wrestling ring in two different scenes.

Gif set credit @subcas 👇

But that wasn't the only thing the writers wanted to show us by introducing Gunnar.

Gunnar was dressed in the color blue, so, when Dean faces him, we can interpret that as him facing Cas… watch this…

Gunnar: Sorry, kid. I don’t want to do this.

Dean: Oh, then don’t.

Gunnar: You say that like I got a choice. That guy out there, he’s a...

Dean: He’s a demon. I know. And I know about Hell and deals... all of it. What’s he got over you? You sold your soul, didn’t you?

Gunnar: Ten years ago, I wanted another shot at the belt; 50,000 people screaming my name. I was desperate and dumb.

Dean: But you only had the title for like a week.

Gunnar: Desperate and dumb.

Dean: Okay. Okay. Look, you screwed up, all right? Trust me. I’ve been there. But it is never too late to do the right thing.

Gunnar: You really believe that?

Dean: I have to.

Gunnar wanted to be the winner, the hero, just like Cas. Castiel wanted to be that hero on which Sam and Dean could rely on. And his despair led him to Lucifer. So Dean, emphatically, tries to give him hope because he totally understands, because he has ‘been there.' 

This is a piece of Dean Winchester's struggle. Dean has been there. He totally knows what it’s like to be desperate, and we can easily imagine him to be asking himself why Cas didn't come to him and talk about everything first. But also why he couldn’t see the signs of the bad shape Castiel was in. Why did Sam notice but not him? Not even when he saw him in the bunker and Casifer lightly suggested using Dean as bait? All of this is seething inside Dean. So when he finds Gunnar and hears his story of WHY HE HAD MADE A DEAL WITH A DEMON (just like Cas) it was as if he was seeing Cas in that story.

Learning a Lesson

The last scene in the episode is Sam and Dean talking about Gunnar and the conversation turning into a Cas-centric chat…

Sam: Are you okay?

Dean: Not even a little bit. Lawless was a good guy. He didn’t deserve to go out like that, you know?

Sam: Dean, you know what? He made a bad decision. We’ve been there.

Dean: Yeah, you, me, now Cas.

This is the confirmation of the assumption that Gunnar's behavior was a recall of Castiel's bad decision and that Dean was aware of it the whole time. So it’s confirmed: When he was talking to Gunnar it was a mirror for talking to Cas.

Sam: Dean, we’ll get him back. We will. We just got to…

Sam recognizes the symptomatology over there… everything is about Cas.

Dean: Keep grinding. No matter how much it hurts, no matter how hard it gets, you got to keep grinding.

Sam: Right.

Dean is talking, finally, with the pain carved into his heart, and Sam is there for him, listening to his brother confessing he's devastated because Cas made that bad decision and that he wants him back, and that he will keep fighting for it.

Gif credit @sunlitcas

Dean: And that’s how we’re gonna win. And we’re gonna win. We’re gonna save Cas, we’re gonna ice the Devil and we’re gonna shank the Darkness. And anyone that gets in our way, well, God help them.

Sam: Damn right.

Dean: Damn right.

Dean learning his lesson, painfully, but he's okay, he can do this, Sam is there, and both of them will get Cas back.

Cas comes first

In the beginning of episode 11x16 'Safe House', Dean is worried about not having any clue about Cas and Amara, but Sam finds a case to make his brother focus on another topic. A distraction.

But the case ended up being one of Bobby's and Rufus’s old cases.

In the same way we have Dean focused on Cas and Sam focused on relocating that on another case, we have Bobby focused on the Apocalypse and Rufus focused on the house and the case.

The whole episode is like a war between what is more important: the Apocalypse (Cas) or the case.

There are handprints on the victims, mirroring the Destiel handprint. And we have a broken seal, mirroring Cain's mark.

BOBBY: The apocalypse is on the horizon, and you wanna hunt a damn ghost!

And this one here too…

BOBBY: Been burning the midnight oil. Last couple of weeks. Up for days. Lookin' for ways to stop the apocalypse. Lookin' for - anything. Sam and Dean are right in the middle of this thing. I'm worried about my boys, Rufus.

Bobby isn't sleeping, just like Dean. Because both of them are worried. One because of his familial love for his boys and the other one because of romantic love, as the writers will make that difference apparent in episode 11x17 'Red Meat', which I’ll be talking about in the next meta.

Finally, I want to talk about this dialogue before ending this analysis…

RUFUS: Hey, hey. Alright, okay. Papa bear. But you know more than anyone, Bobby. Even if we find a way to keep the world spinning, not everyone's going to be on that bus ride home. Sacrifice, greater good. All that jazz.

BOBBY: Yeah, I know.

The greater good, the war decision is making its appearance again. The Sacrifice, the path Castiel has chosen.

RUFUS: Oldest rule of hunting, Bobby. You can't save everyone.

So, Rufus (Sam mirror) talks about war decisions, and Bobby (Dean mirror) talks about his emotions (heart decision).

To conclude: 

Episode 11x15 brought us subtext for Bi!Dean, making a blatant parallel between Gunnar/Dean and Rio/Sam, their youth crushes.

Gunnar was mirroring Cas by making a deal with a demon to become a hero again.

Dean immediately related Gunnar's story to Castiel. So the words he said to him were the ones he wanted to say to Cas, if he had just seen the weight of Cas' despair.

Episode 11x16 was another parallel between Sam and Dean with Bobby and Rufus with the topic being ‘What comes first?’. To Dean, the answer is obvious: Castiel comes first, always.

I hope you liked this meta, see you in the next one!

    “…The fact that science cannot make any pronouncement about ethical principles has been misinterpreted as indicating that there are no such principles while in fact the search for truth presupposes [E]thics.”

  Dialectica 32: 342 –Karl Popper–

                                                                 ⋯

  “…I go along with the opinion of William Whewell, Bertrand Russell and Karl Popper that scientists do not make their discoveries by induction or by the practice of any other one method. ‘The’ scientific method is therefore illusory, ‘An art of discovery is not possible’…there is no such thing as a calculus of discovery or a schedule of rules by following which we are conducted to a truth.” pag 16

“The truth is that there is no such thing as ‘scientific inference’. A scientist commands a dozen different stratagems of inquiry in his approximation to the truth.” pag 17

“There is indeed no such thing as ‘the’ scientific method. A scientist uses a very great variety of exploratory stratagems…he uses no procedure of discovery that can be logically scripted…An act of imagination, a speculative adventure, thus underlies every improvement of natural knowledge.”

pag 51

“…The poet was Shelley and the word, poiesis…standing for making, fabrication or the act of creation…Shelley roundly declared in his famous Defence of Poetry (1821) that ‘poetry comprehends all science’, thus classifying scientific creativity with the form of creativity more usually associated with imaginative literature and the fine arts.” pag 52

“…Sciences are becoming more unified, not less: Science approximates more and more closely to that shapely whole which was supposedly its beginning.

The reason why actively creative scientists seem so seldom to communicate with each other is that they do not really want to…

…modern science is beyond the comprehension of any one mind.

This might be a very telling complaint if it were single minds that we ever relied upon, but in reality we work not by single minds but consortia of intelligences, past as well as present; for what we think or do now is a function of what others have thought and done before us―people whose past findings and past errors are part of our own inheritance of understanding.” pag 72

“…philosophers and logicians since the days of Bacon have been entirely clear on this point: deduction merely makes explicit information that is already there. It is not a procedure by which new information con be brought into being.” pag 80

“…Hypotheses are of course imaginative in origin…the imaginative exploit that generates a scientific hypothesis was regarded by Shelley as cognate with poetic invention…Certainly hypotheses are products of imaginative thinking…poetic invention…a making something of sense of beauty or creating order out of nothingness.” pag 84

“If the generative act in science is imaginative in character, only a failure of the imagination―a total inability to conceive what the solution of a problem might be―could bring scientific inquiry to a standstill…

Methodologists differ in their interpretation of the process of evaluating hypotheses.” pag 85

“…Metaphysics is not nonsense…for it can be and has been a source of scientific inspiration and of fruitful scientific ideas.” pag 90

“[I]gnorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.”

                                                                 ⋯

  “What are we to understand by ‘Forces’?” pag 371

“…and how are different forces related to each other?” pag 372

“…the term force conveys for the most part the idea of something unknown, unsearchable, and

hypothetical.” pag 372

“Forces are causes…” pag 372

“…Forces are therefore indestructible, convertible, imponderable objects.” pag 372

“…but we are equally justified in saying that to force as cause, corresponds force as effect.” pag 373

“…In brief, then…if the cause is a force, the effect is also a force.” pag 373

“…precisely that which is the essential attribute of every force—the union of indestructibility with convertibility—is wanting in every property” pag 373

“…incorrect conceptions of the causal connexion of things are thereby fostered.” pag 374

“…the measure of the force v is mc²…the law of the conservation of vis viva is thus found to be based on the general law of the indestructibility of causes.” pag 374

“And what applies to the smallest particles of matter, and the smallest intervals between them, must also apply to large masses and to measureable distances…” pag 376

XLVIII. Remarks on the Forces of Inorganic Nature. By J. R. Mayer (pag 371)

Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science. Vol. XXIV.―July-December, 1862. London

                                                                      ⋯

  “…The one is the το ποιειν, or the principle of synthesis, and has for its objects those forms which are common to universal nature and existence itself; the other is the το λογιςειν, or principle of analysis, and its action regards the relations of things simply as relations…Man in society, with all his passions and his pleasures, next becomes the object of the passions and pleasures of man; an additional class of emotions produces an augmented treasure of expressions; and language, gesture, and the imitative arts, become at once the representation and the medium, the pencil and the picture, the chisel and the statute, the chord and the harmony…the future is contained within the present, as the plant within the seed; and equality, diversity, unity, contrast, mutual dependence, become the principles alone capable of affording the motives according to which the will of a social being is determined to action, inasmuch as he is social; and constitute pleasure in sensation, virtue in sentiment, beauty in art, truth in reasoning, and love in the intercourse of kind…and then if no new poets should arise to create afresh the associations which have been thus disorganized, language will be dead to all the nobler purposes of human intercourse…every author is necessarily a poet, because language itself is poetry; and to be a poet is to apprehend the true and the beautiful, in a word, the good which exists in the relation…the highest poetry without injuring it as poetry…The creations of sculpture, painting, and music are illustrations still more decisive…The distinction between philosophers and poets has been anticipated…All the authors of revolutions in opinion are not only necessarily poets as they are inventors…A poem is the very image of life expressed in its eternal truth…poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted…The parts of a composition may be poetical, without the composition as a whole being a poem…Ethical science arranges the elements which poetry has created…Poetry is indeed something divine. It is at once the centre and circumference of knowledge; it is that which comprehends all science, and that to which all science must be referred…Poetry thus makes immortal all that is best and most beautiful in the world…Poetry redeems from decay the visitations of the divinity in man…Poetry turns all things to loveliness; it exalts the beauty of that which is most beautiful, and it adds beauty to that which is most deformed…and lays bare the naked and sleeping beauty, which is the spirit of its forms…It creates anew the universe, after it has been annihilated in our minds by the recurrence of impressions blunted by reiteration. It justifies the bold and true words of Tasso—‘Non merita nome di creatore, se non Iddio ed il Poeta’…what is called poetry, in a restricted sense, has a common source with all other forms of order and of beauty, according to which the materials of human life are susceptible of being arranged, and which is poetry in an universal sense…Poets are the hierophants of an unapprehended inspiration; the mirrors of the gigantic shadows which futurity casts upon the present; the words which express what they understand not; the trumpets which sing to battle, and feel not what they inspire; the influence which is moved not, but moves. Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world.”

  A Defence of Poetry ―P. B. Shelley―

                                                       ⋯

                                                        

    El monopolio de la ciencia, es la negación de la ciencia, y su consorcio es señalado pro tempore como el ‘Cartel del Método científico’. Su verdad es incompatible con su propia definición, su exactitud antilógica es fiel factótum del Nigredo científico, y su lógica es arbitraria pues está basada en valores. Sus digresiones y regresiones siguen siendo per fas et nefas, y nuestra ciencia taumatúrgica es hoy y mañana la omnisciencia omnímoda, donde a pesar de todo, el animal humano continúa in albis del dilema Luci-fero e Luz-bélico;

                                                  ∼To be or not to be ∼

   Como un niño de dos años que juguetea y destrucciona sin culpa alguna todo lo que llega a sus bienaventuradas manitas y con las cuales trata de adoctrinar a su cachorro a balbucear y proceder como él lo hace, sin remordimieto, arrepentimiento o dilección.

   Así es el pequeño homo sapiens, ‘il ignis fatuus piú grande dell’Universo.’

   Bienaventurados son todos los chuchos del mundo, pues son solo ellos los que pueden conversar en todos los dialectos del animal humano, pasados, presentes y futuros…pues no son ellos los que ladran y gruñen sino lo inverso y contrario;

¡Guau guau!…Grrrr!…Mmmm, mmmm, mmm!…un lenguaje altamene acrisolado.

Cuando echados apaciblemente con la cabeza sobre sus patas, sin siquiera esforzarse a levantarla, nos dirigen su mirada a nuestros ojos, y sin siquiera inmutarse vuelven a bajarla lamentándose silentemente;

  –¡Ah…estos humanos!…¿Hasta cuándo aprenderán?…¡Son caso perdido!…realmente…caso perdido…un genuino nemo malus felix.

     La pandemia más deletérea de toda la Humanidad ha sido y sigue siendo la Ignorancia. Esta posee la cualidad de poder exterminar totalmente a la misma, y está basada efectivamente, en el el proceso de T de E. El conocimiento no es Poder, más bien la ignorancia es no poder. El lenguaje es conocimiento y el conocimiento es lenguaje, son una y la misma cosa. El conocimiento es Luz, es la estrella del Cosmos presente y es también nuestro futuro. No debemos creer en la ignorancia de aquellos que creen saber mucho y que terminan por no saber ni creer en nada. Aquellos que nos reiteran que no poseemos destino y que el porvenir no existe, que no abrigamos aliento ni ilusiones y anhelos, ni sendas que nos lleven a algún hado. Son los falsos y pringados Illuminati que nos retrodictan a los fósiles del pasado y no a la certidumbre del azar, nos arrastran a los círculos más abisales del Hades y no a las órbitas más elevadas del firmamento. A los Héticos de esperanzas y célicas grandezas, de virtudes y noblezas. De ellos, que solo viven de apático egoísmo y de extravíos cogitativos e intelectivos, que adulteran el lenguaje del cielo y nublan su luminiscencia con lúgubres opalescencias y que el único fin es su fin, ninguno otro. No es posible amar lo que no se conoce, pero es imposible aniquilar lo conocido, por más que se lo pretenda, siemprecon tribulación se le revivirá. Este Universo, questo mondo, es solo un Mego lonche para los Príncipes Idiotas, de este nuestro adictivo principado del Kapitalismo. Para aquellos a los que les es incompatible poder conocer y poder comprender. Debemos tener compasión por ellos. Y debemos comprometernos para sanar su dolor, y así, poder liberarlos de su lúbrico sufrimiento.

  Para ellos y para todos nuestros hermanos un delicado benedícite;

                            Paz y libertad en la Tierra a todos los seres de virtuosa benevolencia

     La existencia, nuestra supervivenvia, es la vida de todos los demás seres vivos. Estamos hermanados todos por lazos intangibles que nos unen los unos a los otros, insondable e inextricablemente. Somos esclavos de nuestra infatigable ignorancia, y de nuestro ignaro egotismo, puesto allí para poder sobrevivir, más no para exterminarnos. El conocimiento nos da alegría y nos proporciona placer y felicidad, nos da serenidad.

   La imaginación, la invención y la creación van de la mano del conocimiento del lenguaje humano. Sin lenguaje no existe conocimiento y sin conocimiente no hay lenguaje. El conocimiento es la luz de la vida, la ignorancia es la tiniebla del vacio y la extinción. Porque conocer es comprender y la comprensión es júbilo y amor. El conocimiento de lo que es la vida, no es el venir a disiparla, como afirma la mayoría, el conocimiento y la comprensión de lo que es la vida, es el venir a transformarla, es su transformación…y sobretodo el conocimiento de las leyes de esa transformación. Porque tenemos noticias para los príncipes…esas leyes existen, son reales y son nada más y nada menos que leyes naturales. Les guste o no les guste y aunque ustedes no lo crean, la vida se rige por ellas. Y hay más, estas pueden ser demostradas y comprobadas y no solo eso, comprendiendo estas leyes y principios universales (no principados universales) se pueden hacer retrodicciones y predicciones, ¿y adivinen qué? La magnitud predictiva que ostentan es superior, mucho mayor, que la gran mayoría de las leyes regulares, de bajo y mediano nivel de la ciencia actual.

   Pasamos pues, sin darle más vueltas a este asunto a lo que habíamos dicho hace tiempo. Vamos a ver en seguida como este sistema, perversamente llamado global, que lleva por nombre Kapitalismo, es el sistema en la historia de la Humanidad que ha producido y sigue produciendo la mayor proporción, y exceso, de una emoción muy poco conocida y estudiada hasta el día de hoy, a la que se le ha dado por llamar la emoción de la Aversión, y que se da en la mayoría de los seres vivos, dentro de este proceso particular que llamamos la vida, dentro del Proceso General de la Transformación de la Energía.

  ―Nuestro concepto general de la Energía no se empata esencialmente a su expresión y definición (ya que no existe ninguna del concepto general) como la propiedad o el atributo universal, no obstante que se unifica y se transforma en todo lo que existe. No es posible pues, por ley del Proceso General de Transformación, que sea reificado. Ni este ni el Proceso, ya que como se ha visto es un Proceso General y Universal. Nuestro concepto general es correlativo al orden metafísico, ontológico, epistemológico y filosófico. Es inseparable y es un objeto real y concreto, aunque muchos insistan que no.―

  Esta Gran Teoría es sobre el Proceso Universal y General de la Transformación de la Energía.

  No es una teoría sobre energética, aunque el siglo XX debe muchísimo a la misma, y a las filosofías de los Vedas y los Griegos.

     Para aquellos que no les es posible librar esta batalla [chamuscar al Dragón], les deseamos por lo tanto un feliz retorno a sus mayestáticos castillos y tenebrosos calabozos.

  Nacht und Nebel…Auf weithersen!

    Continuamos.

Destiel Chronicles

Vol. XLIX

It was a love story from the very beginning.

Love Story (Part I)

(9x21/9x22a)

Hi my friends! I'm back with my Chronicles after a little break of my vacations!

We are about to finish season 9, I will analyze in two parts the last three episodes from this season, it has a lot of meta so I had to cut 9x22.

I want to say thank you to my friend @agusvedder she made the gifs for this meta.

Now, let's begin...

Not trusting

We all know Cain's mark put the connection between Dean and Cas in danger.

In episode 9x21 King Of The Damned, the figure of Castiel as a strong and trustful leader of angels is pointed with a huge plot, he even had an entrance in scene with an angel trembling just thinking Commander Castiel was about to meet him.

The writers described Castiel's image between angels, a strong, strategist, and powerful Commander. They admired Castiel, the Great Castiel.

When Dean and Sam arrived to see Cas, they got surprised with the army Cas had. Even so, he is still their Cas. So, they kept treating him as always, and this is not a good sign for the angels.

But one of the biggest topics in this episode was the lack of trust coming from Dean, as an alarm of how the Cain's mark was affecting the Profound Bond.

The first sign pf Dean not trusting was this exchange of words...

This could be an advice, but is alarming. Because one of the characteristics that made Cas being Cas, is his dream of helping his brothers and sisters to be a family. So, he truly believe in the cause, and here we notice Dean's aversion to the winged family and scolding nature of his words. Not even repairing in the fact that Cas is a dreamer, and that's one of the things he loves about him. His hopes and faith.

Jumping to episode 9x22, we are really in danger with this manner, because Castiel notices Dean lack of trust in him, and that scares him.

When Metatron had settled his plan, by making fanatic angel explode yelling Cas' name, Dean doubted of Castiel's innocence...

This is very very sad for Cas, because their bond it has his roots in trust. So... Why is Dean doubting about him? There's no other explanation than the Cain's mark. It also is very painful, he did it in front of Castiel's army.

Then these words...

Not just distrust, but calling back the past? A very shameful past that made Cas depressed, to the point of thinking about suicide in season 8? You don't being back those matters if you really love your best friend... So is very alarming Dean is naming Cas' past, and lies, and break up. There's something really wrong with the bond being affected by the mark.

Cas senses this, and tried to fight back. But Dean stays firm in his idea of him and sends Sam with him.

Feelings

We had this scene in episode 9x21...

Crowley pissed with himself bc the whirlwind of feelings commanding his life (remember he was a dark mirror of Human!Cas) was so disgusting for him.

This could be seen as foreshadow of Castiel's speech to Hannah in season 10, about FEELINGS and how that interfere with the mission.

Because it talks about him too, about how Castiel discovered all this world of feelings when he was a human. And how is affecting him, because nothing will be the same once he tasted human life.

That's why the intensity of feeling Dean doesn't trust him, this horrible recall of those days when he was working with Crowley and Dean broke up with him, is overwhelming.

He sees this paused bond, or blocked bond, they're experiencing with Dean it has only one meaning: CAIN'S MARK.

But it hurts too much to him that Dean doesn't trust him... So he came back to that topic with Sam in episode 9x22

Cas is worried because the mark is affecting Dean badly, and is affecting the connection he has with him. The profound bond, the trust.

Castiel is special

And we know this already, right? I talked extensively about the blatant mirror between Metatron and Chuck, and here we have another clue...

Even with Metatron choosing Castiel as the villain to become himself a hero, he admires and envy Cas' charming.

But Castiel isn't charming just because his beauty, but because his ability to not following the script. He uses free will with strategy. Okay, he had made a lot of mistakes, but also, a lot of successes. That's why not even Metatron not Chuck can write him. He is, for sure, unpredictable.

Metatron want to be like him, deep inside. The lack of this angels to use free will just like Cas does, is what make them want to be like Castiel.

But then, again, and coming back to Castiel's humanity and feelings, we had this sad scene...

Cas' fears and guilt again, on the surface. This angel calls back too to Castiel's dark past, just like Dean did, but, now is one of his own. One of his kind. Cas isn't an angel anymore to him, but a human. He sees humanity on Castiel's eyes. And that's not bad at all, but it means the rejection of his own family. Is also too a foreshadow of their Angelical army abandoning him when he chose Dean over them. Because he will always choose Dean, over everything. Metatron will say it, and I will talk about this in my next Chronicles.

To Conclude

Cain's mark blocked Dean and Cas connection, becoming into distrust and a paused bond.

Castiel's human experience gave him vulnerability to face Dean's reaction towards him, and this just will make his depression re surface, adding the rejection of his own kind, again.

I hope you like this meta! See you in the next one!
